Bachelor of Arts in Biology

The Biology major is designed for students with an interest in aspects of the life sciences, to provide excellent preparation for postgraduate education and careers in biomedicine, health and secondary education, as well as other fields that require an understanding and practice of scientific reasoning and methods.

Students build a scientific foundation for understanding how biological systems function through courses taken during the freshman and sophomore years. In the junior and senior years, students may concentrate in areas such as: pre-professional health, biotechnology, secondary education, or an individualized program. Research opportunities with departmental faculty as well as internships and cooperative programs with public and private organizations afford students the opportunity to apply their skills outside the classroom. Due to the complex biological issues that face modern society, the department also encourages non-majors to take selected courses in the biological sciences.

The Biology major also offers a track for students in becoming biology teachers, Bachelor of Science in Biology - Biology Teacher Track. The track in the Biology major is designed to get students who are aspiring to become future biology teachers in grades 5-12 into the classroom sooner. This unique program also includes a dual certification in Students with Disabilities Generalist grade 7-12 and General Science Extension. With fewer credit hours needed in the upper biology classes, a student can complete the major and certification requirements, including student teaching in four years.
